LAGOS, Nigeria, June 11.—Ninety passengers on the Spanish steamer Tiede, which was wrecked Wednesday off Fernando Po Island were saved by the tremendous burst of sailing speed of the 19-year-old British steamer Appam, it was learned here today. The old Appam, steaming through the tropic night with flames belching from her funnels and the needles o f her pressure guages teetering around the danger mark, covered 104 miles in less than 712 hours and arrived just in tfie to rescue the 90 from the sinking ship.

He is slated for a place on the impor- BUSY WIRE tant Resolutions Committee, vhich will handle the prohibition question.

Admires Rockefeller. “1 admire Mr Rockefeller’s courage, sald Sloan. “Many high-minded men in this ccuntry have undergone a change in attitude toward this question in the lest few years. Too many have re- mained silent. My own views have been reversed by the results of our ex- periment in prohibition. “I am now definitely convinced that the road toward greater temperance, with a resulting better standard of ethics in our country, is through repeal.” At the time of Mr. Hoover's candi- dacy, in 1928, for the presidency, Mr. Sloan said. he stated “that prohibition was one of our unsolved problems, that it was an important one, that con- ditions respecting the observance of the law were unsatisfactory and that the necessity for some kind of adjustment. I also stated that in my opinion prohibition had increased our industrial efficiency.” In the four years since, he said, “the liquor traffic has increased in extent rather than decreased. Lawlessness, which developed as a result of prohi- bition, has continued to increase to an alarming extent It has created a gen- eral condition far more damaging to the present and future stability of our country than any possible benefits that would otherwise be enjoyed.” Favors Quick Repeal. Mr. Sloan asserted he now favored “abolishment of the eighteenth amend- ment as promptly and as expeditiously as possible.” “There should be substituted,” he said, “strict control of the liquor traf- fic such as exists in other countries, many of which have followed the same road that we have and reathed the same conclusions. “By 'so doing, real temperance will be promoted. Lawlessness will be no longer subsidized and—a very impor- tant and vital economic consideration— industry will be released from a part of the present heavy burden of taxation through an increase in Government revenues made possible by placing the sale of liquor under governmental aus- pices instead of as now conducted. “It is my belief that our whole so- cial and economic structure will, in this manner, be greatly strengthened and a real foundation built for renewed presperity.” ARGENTINA F;RESIDENT GETS REVOLT WARNING Senator Palacios, Socialist Leader, Regards Rumors of Coup as Highly Important. By the Ascsociated Press. BUENOS AIRES, June 11.—The So- clalist party of Argentina revealed to- day that one of its leaders had warned President Augustin P. Justo of “impor- tant” alarmist rumors, from which it wes inferred that a coup was planned against the government. The Socialist party provided Presi- |dent Justo with his principal opposi- tion in the elections last November, which restored a comstitutional govern- ment to Argentina. It disclosed that the President called Senator Alfredo Palacios, a leading So- cialist, into a conference last night and asked his opinion regarding the coun- try's situation. Senator Palacios re- plied, the announcement said, that the current rumors were really important and he regarded it the duty of loyal citizens to avert danger in the army. Sundlay Star. D. C, PROWBTION STORM BREAKS ON EVE OF 0., CONVENTION Issue Worries Leaders and; Is Thorn in Platform Preparation. RELIEF PROBLEM FANS ANTICIPATED FIGHT Opponents to Renomination of Vice President Curtis Pin Hopes on Gen. Dawes. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. CHICAGO, June 11.—The Republicans will open on Tuesday morning their na- tional convention for the election of presidential and vice presidential nomi- nees and for the preparation of a plat- |form. Notwithstanding the fact that the renomination of President Hoover is considered a foregone conclusion, the G. O. P. convention of 1932 may yet turn out to be an epochal affair, The Republican party is faced with dealing with two questions of the great- est importance, issues which are likely, to make or mar its campaign in the national contest. They are relief and prohibition; hard times and the wet and dry issue. If the Republican leaders now in Chi- cago are correct, the G. O. P. is destined to take 1ts first step away from national prohibition; it will place in its national platform some kind of a declaration for resubmission of the eighteenth amend- ment. Chairman Fess of the Republi- can National Committee today shook his head over the problem. He is dry and will go down fighting. But he is also a Republican, and he is clearly worried over what may happen to the party—whether it takes a wet stand, a dry stand or straddles the issue. Uncertainty Exists. With the wet sentiment mounting higher and higher, it does not seem pos- sible that the Republican convention will take the kind of a stand the ardent drys demand—a stand merely for en- i forcement of the laws. On the other kand, as the delegates to the national convention come rolling into Chicago, (the chances are that the atmosphere | will become rather dryer than wetter. Up to this time the convention city has been lacking in convention dele- gates. The members of the Republican National Committee have been here for several days. They have talked to each other about prohibition and about the vice presidential nomination, and with the great crowd of newspaper men who have gathered here to cover the con- vention until they have arrived at an| unusual state of uncertainty. With the presence of the delegates to the con- vention, much of this air of unreality may vanish. Two of the biggest delegations are to arrive_here tomorrow, the New York and Pennsylvania delegations. With the New York outfit is to come the champion of unconditional repeal of the eighteenth amendment, Dr. Nicho- las Murray Butler, who is bringing with him his plank pledging the G. O.

By ti:e Associated Press. Despite the outbreak of a threatening dispute between House and Senate, un- employment relief legislation pushed ahead yesterday. A cool reception was accorded in the House to the $300,000,000 Democratic | relief bill approved Friday by the Sen- ate, and there were threats of blocking action on it until the Senate considers the $2,300,000 Garner measure. Teaders were confident, however, of a compromise agreement. ‘The dispute over relief broke out | when the $300,000,000 bill passed by | | the Senate Friday for loans to States | reached the House. Even before it was presented, lead- | ers on that side of the Capitol dis- | played some ire that the Senate had ignored the Garner bill which the House had previously approved.

Democratic Leader Rainey. expressing fear there would be no “real relief legislation,” said. “when Congress ad- journs we will have enacted nothing but doles.” Rainey attacked the Democratic lead- ership of the Senate, saying Senator Robinson, the minority leader, “is fol- lowing the Republican leader (Senator Watson of Indiana), and he, of course, is following the President.” “The Wagner bill (the Senate meas- ure) is just another good campaign fund for the President,” Rainey said to newspaper men. “So far we haven't passed anything that would get at the basic difficulties of the depression and provide employment. “We have passed a dole for banks. & dole for railroads, a dole for farmers, and now the Senate approves a dole for States.” Rainey said he hoped the bill would be referred to the Banking Committee and that it would attach the Garner bill to the Senate measure, so that both could go to conference between the two houses. Snell for Speedy Passage. Representative Snell, Republican House leader, said the Senate bill “should pass as quickly as possible.” He predicted there would be few votes against it, if Speaker Garner would let the measure come up. Gar- ner, meanwhile, was sick at his hotel, and it was not known what action he would take. Leaders of the non-partisan group in the House met and agreed to make every effort to block action on the Senate bill and “stop the adjournment of Congress until some comprehensive relief bill is passed.” One of them. Representative La Guardia, Republican, of New York, asked the House when the Senate bill ‘was presented: “Are we going to pass relief legislation piecemeal or in a comprehensive measure?” Rainey, in the chair, decided that the bill would lay on the table for a day. ¢ Action Asked on Other Bills During discussion of the Senate pro- gram, Senator McNary, the assistant Republican leader. expressed the hope Congress could adjourn Saturday, but Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, demanded action not only on farm re- lief and Philippine independence, but also on the home loan discount bill and the Glass substitute for the Golds- borough credit expansion measure. Senator Robinson &lso expressed hope for early adjournment, but said the Senate should pass on the Philippine question and also consider the Demo- cratic $2,000,000,000 unemployment re- lef bill. He suggested that this meas- ure, which includes the controversial $500,000,000 public works bond issue proposal, should be substituted for the Garner bill. $32,000 THEFT CHARGED Veteran Employe of Bank Missing Since Thursday.

Herriot's cabinet | said the keystone of the French premier's | immediate policy was to unite England, Belgium, Italy and France in a com- | mon reparations and economic front,| |as the American Government desires. The communique issued after their preliminary conversations merely said: “M. Herriot, Mr. MacDonald and Sir John Simon (British foreign secretary) took tea and later dined with the cab- inet. Very friendly convexsuu,?m were held on the problems at hand. A semi-official note later said, how- ever, that while Mr. MacDonald, like M. Herriot, was hostile to a unilateral annulment of international contracts, the British prime minister apparenty would decide to accept a prolonged sus- pension, if not a definite cessation, of Germany's reparations payments. Discussions Are General. Regarding the questions of security, the note said it was assured that Mr. MacDonald would try to obtain from Germany & declaration affirming its peaceful sentiments in order to dissipate alarmist rumors, notably to the effect that Poland might be menaced by Ger- man aggression in the Polish Corridor. The note emphasized that today’s dis- cussions were general and that a de- tailed examination of the problems was due tomorrow.

HONEY BIL Passed by Senate With $43,- 789,728 Recommended by Committee. The District appropriation bill for the fiscal yvear beginning July 1 is ready to go to conference this week, having passed the Senate yesterday carrying the same total recommended the Appropriations Committee, namely, $43,789,728, and with the Fed- eral share raised to $8.550,000. The House had cut the District budget down to a total of $39.913,810 and had slashed the Federal contribution to $6,- 500,000. The Senate approved without change | the amendment recommended by the committee to make $600,000 available to the Board of Public Welfare to re- lieve unemployment and distress among residents of the District, after Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wisconsin, had made several unsuccessful efforts to make provision in the bill for the care of the bonus army. Senator Bingham, Republican, of Connecticut, who steered the local sup- ply bill through the Senate. suggested to Senator Blaine that the last de- ficiency appropriation bill would be be- fore the Senate soon and that he could offer his proposal for consideration in that measure. Object to Amendment. Senators King. Democrat, of Utah, and McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, objected to the committee amendment increasing the Federal share toward District expenses for the coming year above the House figure. but Senator Bingham, in reply, pointed out that, while more than the House granted, it is less than any amount that has been provided in recent years and was re- duced below the current lump sum of $9.500,000 because of the economic sit- uation. Senator Vandenburg Repub- lican, of Michigan, took a brief part in the fiscal relations discussion, in- quiring how the percentage of tax de- linquency here compares with other cities. He said he sought this infor- mation because it would be an indica- tion of ability to pay. Senator King said he understood tax delinquency here was less, but Chair- man Bingham called attention to testi- mony of District Auditor Donovan that the delinquent tax list has been increas- ing due to recent conditions, and that this year. for the first time, the District sold very little property at tax sale.
